October 10, 2024 – Lianzhou, a county-level city under the administration of Qingyuan City in Guangdong Province, has recently demonstrated its remarkable strength and potential in the field of calcium carbonate industry. Dubbed as the “City of Calcium Carbonate in China,” Lianzhou not only boasts abundant calcium carbonate resources but also holds a demonstrative position in the national non-metallic mineral industry development.
The calcium carbonate reserves and quality in Lianzhou rank among the top in the country. According to survey data from the Guangdong Provincial Geological Exploration Bureau, the mineral reserves of calcium carbonate in the area amount to a staggering 61.418 billion tons, with a calcium content of up to 99.48% and a whiteness level reaching an impressive 98.30%. These high-quality resources are primarily distributed in the towns of Xijiang, Longping, Xingzi, and Dalubian, spanning a mineral vein of 50 kilometers, providing a solid foundation for the development of Lianzhou’s calcium carbonate industry.
AsiaMB has learned that Lianzhou’s calcium carbonate industry has formed a relatively complete industrial chain, encompassing numerous enterprises engaged in the mining, processing, and sales of calcium carbonate. These enterprises have not only accumulated rich experience and technology but also prioritize technological innovation and product upgrading. For instance, Lianzhou凯恩斯 Nanomaterials Co., Ltd. has independently developed multiple advanced technologies, resulting in nano-calcium carbonate products with uniform morphology and diverse particle sizes, which have gained significant market favor.
Lianzhou’s calcium carbonate products find wide applications in various sectors such as plastics, rubber, wire and cable, ink, adhesives, and electrical wires and cables, indicating a vast market prospect. To promote the high-quality development of the calcium carbonate industry, the Lianzhou Municipal Government has actively taken measures, including establishing associations, facilitating industrial transformation, and collaborating with universities, aiming to build a “billion-yuan” high-end and refined mining industry.
Furthermore, Lianzhou boasts multiple key projects related to calcium carbonate, whose implementation has not only driven local economic growth but also promoted technological advancements and market expansion in the calcium carbonate industry. Examples include the expansion project of Lianzhou Taiyuan Calcium Carbonate Co., Ltd. to produce 40,000 tons of activated calcium carbonate annually and the project in Xijiang Town to establish the largest calcium carbonate powder new material production base in Guangdong, both laying a solid foundation for the sustainable development of Lianzhou’s calcium carbonate industry.
In terms of power supply, Lianzhou has also constructed new 10kV lines to address the electricity supply issues in the development of the non-metallic mineral industry, adding new impetus to Lianzhou’s pursuit of building a “billion-yuan high-end and refined mining industry.” This move not only strengthens the rural power distribution network but also meets the electricity demand for the construction and expansion of the local calcium carbonate industry.
In summary, with its abundant resource reserves, continuous technological innovation, broad market applications, and strong governmental support, Lianzhou’s calcium carbonate industry in Guangdong Province is continuously growing and thriving. Not only does Lianzhou’s calcium carbonate excel in quantity, but its product quality has also been widely recognized by the market, injecting new vitality into the local economic development and the high-quality growth of the calcium carbonate industry.
